Source-derived summary

Route 94 is an east–west state highway in Connecticut running for 9.33 miles (15.02 km) from Route 2 (Exit 8) in Glastonbury to Route 85 in Hebron.

Route description

Route 94 officially begins as the Exit 8 offramp of eastbound Route 2 in western Glastonbury (in the Addison section of town). It turns east on Hebron Avenue and crosses under the Route 17 expressway without an interchange, and then under Route 2 (about 330 yards (300 m) east of the end of the eastbound offramp). Hebron Avenue continues eastward through Glastonbury for another 3.75 miles (6.04 km), meeting with Route 83 (which heads for Manchester and East Glastonbury). After another 1.1 miles (1.8 km), it crosses Roaring Brook and becomes mainly a rural collector road as it heads towards the town of Hebron. Along the way it passes by the Macclain Earth Products factory as it traverses the rural part of Glastonbury. Route 94 crosses into the town of Hebron about 3.3 miles (5.3 km) east of Roaring Brook becoming known as Gilead Street, where it ends 0.8 miles (1.3 km) east of the town line at an intersection with Route 85. Gilead Street continues further east as southbound Route 85 towards the town center of Hebron.

Route 94 is designated the 94th Infantry Division Memorial Highway from Route 2 to the Glastonbury-Hebron town line.

History

In the early 1920s, State Highway 165 was designated as the road from Main Street in Glastonbury Center (at New England Route 17), through Addison, to then State Highway 164 (now Route 83).

Editorial summary

“Connecticut Route 94” enters the record as state highway in central Connecticut, US. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Connecticut, Route and State can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 259-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1932. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Connecticut, Route and State.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Connecticut Route 94” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Connecticut, Route and State provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2246781. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
